reason to believe that 81 will, as usual, get
to the front with her customary big crops,
fine stock, ETC., for which she has already
become famous.
Active operations on the continuation OF
the Frisco railroad from Blaff City-only
twelve miles distant-to Anthony, are to
commence today, thereby insuring com
peting line inside of sixty days, while it is
also believed, by those who are in a posi-
ton to know. that the north and south
rosd will also be completed within the
year. This gives ample railway advan-
tages to meet all requirements for time at
least. The Sunflower road, too, has gone
on to Hazleton and Kiowa, thus affording
US western outlet which is by no means
Insignificant These are factors, which,
when backed up by q wide-awake and pro-
gressive people. have made Kansas the
wonder of the world.
Hotel registrations are numerous just
now, and it is needless to add that Wichita
is well represented on the list, notably the
autographs of Mayor Aldrich and Fritz
Schnitzler, Esq, who have evidently been
here to take hand in the whirl.

To the Editor Of the Eagle
Both large and small capitalists
here are casting longing eyes On

among real estate men is that local invest
ments are very few in consequence A
man who wants to double his investment
In real estate here at the present rate of in
crease must hope to live well into the
twentieth century, and hence he generally
prefers something little speediers.
Mining stock is also losing favor as in
yestmcnts in case of Wichita's boom, and
several brokers speak very harshly of the
Sedgwick county wonder in consequence
No other Kansas town claiming to be on a
tr cmenduous boom attracts very much
attention here Kingman is regarded as
its infancy apd dotage combined and
very few dollars go toit vigorous efforts
are being made to attract attention to
Leavenworth and one or two investments
have been made in it, but for each one
there have been hundreds at Wichita. The
newspaper offices are invaded daily. by
eager applicants for the loan OF Wichita

its columns are scanned with great eager
ness. On next Wednesday restaurant

likewise. Several local architects are busy
with Wichita plans. and one Of the lead

VERY CHEEKY.

McDivitt, the grand commander OF the
G. A. r., lives at Abilene, for which point
he is the Associated Press agent. Yester-
day morning. as such agent, he used his
position to boom through the papers OF the
country his own candidate for McDivitts
successor. Capt. Seward, of Winfield, may
get there. It is said that only ex-officers
can be elected to the grand commandership.
But we want to notify Gen. McDivitt that
there is a private soldier down this way. a
one legged soldier who in the hour of real
war never aspi1ed to higher place than
one in the ranks where he could carry a
musket in defense Of his country. This
patriots name is Hank Hciserman. he lives
in Wichita and he is candidate for Nc
Divitts place and hundred Of his old
comrades and admirers have gone up to
Abilene to see whether Mr.. McDivitt has
transcribed his authority in announcing to
the world that Captain Seward would have
no opposition.

KANSAS WINTERS.

Prof. Snow of the State university, has
made a brief report on Kansas winter
weather for the past twenty years. he
finds, by comparison. that the last winter
belonged in series of five consecutive cold
winters. and was the second In point OF
GOODNESS, the most firigid being the win
ter of 1885. 1t had but one
thunder shower, which is the aver
age number for stwenty years. There
have been but two colder winters in TWEEN
ty years than the mild season just closed.
The coolest weather in twenty years was
in January, 1873, when the mercury re.
corded 20 degrees below zero. There have
been two winters In the twenty years when
the mercury did not reach zero.
The general conclusion is that Kansas
has very reasonable winter climate

AN EXPLANATION.
To the Editor OF the Eagle.

To the Editor OF the Eagle.
A protest in your paper OF the 4tt
against using the house Of God for. politi
cal purposes called for reply in an even
ing paper of the same date. Will you
kindly allow small space for an explana
alton.
First-I did not say that the law of God
excludes women from all places. but from
all places of rule in both church and state.
That law is found in the whole teachings
of the Bible. Any Bible student knows
that it is true. Slavery, bigamy, intern.
perance, lewdness," are of mems invention,
not in any sense Goods law" Neither
does the word of God anywhere sanction
or approve them; on the contrary each one
is condemned, intemperance being used in
the fullest meaning of the word, not refer
ing especially to strong drink but to a
wrong use of any of the blessings God
has bestowed. If anywhere within the
Bible it is said that Solomon was a man
after Gods own heart" I have failed to
read it.
In the protest I said that the
God of this world holds in
derision the originators of the so-called
Woman's Rights movement, etc. The
gods small, if you please, of this world
is commonly supposed to be one entirely
different form from our Lord" In fact,
the same person who in the beginning
tempted our mother, Eve, with the spe
cious promise rye shall be as gods know
ing good and evil" Alasl the same evil
one is in these latter days binding the
eyes and filling the ears of many women
with similar promise, Eye shall right all
wrongs with the power of the ballot.
when the fact is, no moral question was
ever established on firm basis by legisla
ton nor ever will be. Take the Sunday
law, the prohibition law, or a law trying
to control social evil. They are all fail
ures, because man is a free moral agent
and his appetites and passions can only be
controlled through his spiritual sense. As
regards the temperance movement march
ing on" take our own city
for example, where s large
number Of men carry keys and tickets for
club roome or Joints, unlocking doors at
their will and presenting tickets for drink.
Fourteen such places can be counted. and
doubtless that many more conld be found
by diligent search, drug stores not included.
TIE question, does prohibition prohibit? il
fully answered in our own city
If Christian women would do more eff
Glen, service in the lines of work God has
given them and not try to usurp mems
duties there would be less need of legisla-
ticn in regard to the liquor traffic and many
other evils.
Womans highest crown must be won by
showing forth in the life the principles of
the Divine Master rather than at the ballot
box. STILL A PROTESTING WOMAN.

A BAD BURST.

There are number of gentlemen OF
several Kansas and western Missouri town.
who, if they are quoted correctly, fee
more badly than we can over the situation
here at Wichita. One DR.. Medley, who
claims to be mayor of Leayenworth, seems
through an interview appearing in St
Louis paper, to be taking on in sad way
over Wichita's pending collapse. So, Also
q banker at Springfield, Missouri, and
business man at st. Joe. not to mention
the editors of some dozens of sheets in this
state. They all declare that the bubbles
bursting. that the thin shell which incrusts
Wichita's prosperity is about to collapse,
ETC.. etc. Probably the saddest thought OF
all this is the utter Indifference of the peo
ole most nearly concerned in oil this immi-
nent calamity-the people OF Wichita
themselves. If anyone feels bad over the
situation here his neighbors are
left in utter ignorance OF the
fact. Every branch of trade traffic
and manufacture. every interest OF the city
seems to be booming continually and with
accelerated momentum. There is more
life and more business, more money in the
streets and more in the banks, more build
ing going on and more under contract,
more people rushing up and down our
thoroughfares than there is now or ever
was in DR.. Neeley's town twice over, with
the Missouri bankers town OF Springfield
thrown in.
Yes, the shell is about busted. When
the final collapse comes, there will stand
revealed to the intent gaze OF an admirlng
world, the liveliest and healthiest, high
kicking chick that was ever Matched west
Of the murky Missouri. The head and at
least one leg will be released by June next,
aud lucky will be some towns hereabouts
If they are not everlastingly covered by
the debris of Wichita's shattered shell OF
which we have heard so much.

AGreat sIoysnleRt,

According TO the STATISTICAL report
Of the Sunday Schools 10 the United
States rendered atthe late international
Convention held in Chicago, there has
been an increase 10 the scholar mem,
bership of ali the Sunday Schools in
the u, s, since 1884 of 366,645. Its
interesting to know by what agencies
this increase has been secured, for it
shows thai great missionary work
has been done to bring an army Of
385, 900 into active membership with
our Sunday Schools. No more imPor-
tant work can be eoneiyed of, for il
has to do with the destiny Of our en-
tire country.
The three last Annual reports Of the
American Sunday School Union, the
Old undenomipational Society nthat
cares for The children who are pro.
yided for BY no one else, show that
since 1884, IL has brought ls5,034 chill
drep into 4,94T new Sunday Schools, q
nuuber equal 10 5000 more than one
half Of all the increase reported as bay,
ing been secured BY this and al other
agencies during these three years. But
ibis American Sunday School Union
did more than tbis,-it aided 4,825
other schools, which baye 1914 teach
eTs and 5l5,7l4 scholars, $50 that IN
these three years II reached 9,s72 COM
mupities and Sunday Schools, and 709,-
74s children and youth, ana then re-
aided and revisited these schools 9,245
times, besides making 92,6s4 visits 70
families, supplying 45,9l9 destitute
persops with the scriptures and holding
27, ,247 religious meetings. That there
is great need for more of Just such
work ID our country, is evident from
the fact that according TO the Inter
national Secretarg's report there arG

Bishop Galloway, Of Mississippi AZ
q recent temperance gathering at
Brookhaven, in that State delivered az
able address, and in the course Of somc
cheering remarks on the recent prohi-
tion election IN Texas, Eeffered to OK
PresidentJeiferaon Davis anti-prohibi-
ton letter as follows q have only
one regret about the memorable con-
test in Texas, not so much that the
amendment was defeated, for that is
only temporary, but that the gveat
name Of the most distinguished Mis-
sissippian should have been used in IA
vor Of the open saloons and against
moral reform, Though thoroughly nat
ional 10 my convictions, 1 am glad
there ia star on The flag of our re-
public that answers to the name Of
Mississippi.
II have revered the genlus and
admired the history Of Hon. letterson
Davis, 1t has been source of gratih-
cation that the chief Of the Lost Cause
lives within the commonwealth that
honored him long and trusted him i'm
plicitIY, aud where the balniy breezes
of our coast may fan his aged brow and
the waves Of the Southern Gulf bathe his
weary feet. While neither forgetting
nor appologising for bis part Of the
late conflict, that severed for q season
the two great sections Of our reunited
country, / recall with pride his splep-
did services 10 the nation from the
day he led his brave battalions on the
plains Of Buna Vista 10 his FegFetful
retirement from seat In tho United
States Senate and since the eyerto-be
lamentod war between the States |
have admired his quiet patiencei his
beautiful resignation, his manly dig
nifty and his sublime consciousness Of
unstained honor and uncoHupted IN
togrity, But that Bis pen should have
been betrayed into writing line
against the reform Of the age gives
mo pain, and I more regret II because
great statesman, familiar with pro-
found constitutional problems, should
have repeated the platitudos on per
sonaI liberty which have been exploded
by the leading law writer's Of America
and forever settled by the decisions

that the last words Of a soldier, sage
